Where do people source their beers?

Mikkeller BeerMail
YellowBelly Beer Subscription
Blackrock Cellar (for rarer beers)
Centra YellowBelly/Larkin/OBrother beers if I forget to swing by the Blackrock Cellar.

Green&Red · 06-03-2019 1:07pm

Cheers, im in Mayo. Anything on-line?

Zaph · 06-03-2019 1:14pm

Mostly Molloy's in Clonsilla, with the occasional trip to Drinkstore. If I happen to be in the vicinity I'll sometimes drop into Blackrock Cellar, Martin's in Fairview or Baggot Street Wines.

DrinkStore, McHugh's, Bradley's and Martin's all deliver (and I'm sure there are others). But none of them keep their sites up to date with everything currently in stock. If you're looking for something specific, you need to ask them directly.

I'm originally from Mayo so I feel your pain in regards sourcing beers...

Ordering online from drinkstore would probably be your best bet I'd imagine

Edit: beernut has beaten me to it

Not so far.

Spotted four-packs of 'Toast' pale ale and IPA in Dunnes (Athlone) today. Beers made with discarded bread, apparently. The box said they're brewed by Rascal's in Dublin, on behalf of some UK company. Anyone tried them?

Aglomerado · 07-03-2019 4:16pm

Sampling some of PINTAs fine wares in Wroclaw. Hic!

Tiny Rebel and Iceland teamed up to make a beer from leftover bread. It’s called Bread Board and is exclusive to Iceland. Not sure if you can get it over here though.

Rich, luxurious chocolate and coffee. Not a hint of coconut however. Lovely. 11.4% ABV and only €4.75 in Stephen Street News.

Thanks, 'Toast' seems to be the same concept and, as mentioned, is now being sold in Dunnes here. The pale ale is 5% and the IPA 6%. The four-packs are €9.

Both are currently on tap at the Rascals brewery, for anyone who doesn't fancy buying over a litre at a time.

Only relevant if you live close to Rascals of course. Otherwise you’ll be spending the difference on bus/tram fare.

BeerNut · 08-03-2019 9:04pm

Does Dunnes have a courtesy bus now?

Possibly, but I’d say most people live within walking distance to a Dunnes.

How's that rascals place doing anyway?

I’ve only been there once, around Christmas, and I really liked it. Quite busy and the pizza was top notch. A couple of mates live in the area so they’ve been there a few times and said it’s been busy any time they’ve been there.

BeerNut · 09-03-2019 4:04pm

Sitting in it now and there's a decent crowd. 20-30 people, I'd say. Only one of the Toast beers is on, though. Anybody know where the nearest Dunnes is?

OOnegative · 09-03-2019 5:45pm

Rochester Mills Brewing Co Peanut Brittle Milkshake Stout and Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake Stout.

Edit: To clarify for some, two different beers!!

RasTa · 09-03-2019 6:27pm

This beer is everywhere at the moment. You can buy your beers and drink them in the off license over here for the same price. They even have taps.

Ireland, you are so terrible you should be ashamed.

Was in before the Pats Rovers game last night, nice spot and was understandably full while we were there as they do 10% off with match tickets, it'll be my go to spot when going to games there a few times a year, wouldn't be around that area any other time.

Good beer and Pizza can't really go wrong

It's gone too far too often.
It's been a while coming but beer has jumped the shark for me.

Shepherd and Neame's Christmas Ale, hunted down the last bottle in SuperValu on the quays yesterday. My favourite ale by a long margin. Only managed to find 3 bottles over the whole of xmas.

If anyone spots any more let me know

Sorry to dig this one up but I've managed to pick up three of these just now

Let me know if you still have a goo for them.

An awful, sticky, hot, overpriced (possibly racist) mess. Thankfully they don't make it any more. Have a Rain Shadow and feel better.

I've tried it, watery enough would be my comment, the OH liked it but she wouldn't like anything too strong
